Corvallis Times; Official Paper of Benton County OBVAIXI8, OREGON, OCT. 28, 1903. THEY ARE THIEVES. - One reads with regret the. news of how timber thieves have robbed the people out of $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 worth of valuable tim ber lands The story that ; gov ernment servants in high places Tiavp bartered awav for a. sum - of gold the information out- of ; which the timber sharks profited is neith er unreasonable nor strange. ; It is only the old habit in a vnew form in which shrewd and, unprincipled men enrich . themselves . by the trick of cheating the common people through ' avenues opened by bribery of public servants., r .Beginning-; with " the colossal steals by land grants. to railroad companies, the theft of public . do main, timbered or otherwise has continued through many years! and will probably run on unchecked un til the last acre is exhausted. ; The forest reserves, which in conception are based on a correct theory, will probably be the ultimate prey , of the cprruptionist. When the time comes to throw them open, it will be strange indeed, if the; big, ultra-" respectable thieves do not work .a clause into the law that will enable them to carry off all that is of val ue in the reserves, It sounds pes' sirni-tic to say it, but it is none thei less, a lac-, that one t reason why it is so hard for the poor to get along in .trues world is, . that, . . under one guise- ot' another, great, i grand rascals, are stealing the country's wealth. The postoffice , frauds show it. The timber, steals prove it. 4,,iu:- .. ... , Governor Chamberlain never did a wiser, better thing in his life, than whea he journeyed to Wash ington in an effort to use the pres tige, of his office to arrest the whole sale theft of .public ...lands- and to save their heritage of acres to the people. ; ::; ' ';:'L FOR GAMBLING. ! A.' Gang at Play.ji Raid, afld a Subse- -'quent Scene la Court. .si In -the deep silence of last Satur day night, the wheels of justice were grinding in the police court. As they ground along with- His Honor at the helm, there ..was. an accompaniment of ki-yiing and jab beringihaj always is . incidental to a court when'the heathen ' Chin ee is the- defendant: j ; T f ' f M f In this instance there were six of themjall up before His Honor on a charge of gambling. .Among therh, much crestfallen and . sad of coun tenance,' was Big- Jim, the Chinese cook., so many years of the Occi dental Hotel, but now of Albany. Jim was in the Chinese wash house at the corner of Jefferson and Main when Officer Osburn swooped down unexpectedly and caught the whole gang ra the act of gambling with their implements of war - on the table before them. Big Jim was in fact the dealer in the game. When pulled Jim pleaded hard,' accom panying his entreaties with offers of reward, 1 but ' Officer Osburn marched the whole srane. " six in number around to Judge ; Greffoz, where all pleaded guilty, and: paid a fine of three dollars each. It is supposed that some of the celestials are hot after the big money that a number of their countrymen in this vicinity made this year on hops, and that such is the attrac tion that "brings them from neigh boring towns . to' ' Corvallis. to gambol. ALL HAVE RETURNED. Si THEIR ROMANCE. Mr. Harter and gers Then but Marvin Stran Wedded now. - THE INDIAN MURDER . Apostles of temperance, and those who believe in strict enforcement of all laws, find a world of material for argument ir,the killing ; of v In man urant, at fciletz. - it was . in violation of law that Grant was fur nished liquor by" the Toledo saloon' man. That violation cost Grant bis life. What is the degree of punishment that should then fall on the liquor seller, since his unlaw fnl act was the beginning of Grant's end? , And Grant himself, in supplying : the. liquor to his comrades, violated , the same law, and ..that violation was anoiner step towards his - own death- Finally, it was ' the craze for ;. liquor, that was the chief in strument in the murder. Had it been left alone there would . have been no tragedy; 1 " " :.?c.?:zr? ' tTrue iris only an Indian that dead, but the manner and reason of bis going is fruited :. with; eloquent moral, i , - is.

' T Delegates to Good 'Roads Convention - ; Some Things They Have Heard : w About, v ' , The delegates Jrom Benton who attended the Good Roads conven tion at Poatland. have all .returned. They were. County Judge watters, Robert Gellatly. John Horris, Hen ry; Hector and Eli ; Spencer.1 The account is that the .. proceedings 01 the convention wa lull ot mteres', and that much of value in the line of good roads endeavor, was accom pushed. Conventions 01 the sort of course have their sphere of ac tivity limited largely" to creation of sentiment for better roads, by the dissemination of information ' and otherwise. Along this line,-Super intendent Abbott, one of the om cials of the'Agriculturardepartment of the' government was in'- atten dance, and gave startling figures that show the loss to' farmers and others by reasons , of poor roads. In the facility of transporting pro ducts to -market with greatest ease. and at all seasons so that the high est market may be taken advantage of, the figures are such that could they be fully understood by all people, there would be an im mediate stampede for better roads, even if great public indebtedness had to be incurred to build them ; , Other features of the. convention were measures taken for: a man in the field to hold ' local conventions for creation of a sentiment for best roads, and the discussion of practi cal methods for building highways It was brought out in the conven tion that some of the Oregon coun ties spent large sums last year in road building. In Clackamas over $35,000 was spent on ' the roads, in Marion very large sums were spent and many miles of permanent road constructed. )P. M.
